You should be doing as much reading as possible. Less looking at supplements in the shop promising you the world and more learning.

Those weight gainers will get you plenty of weight...it will mostly be fat though

If you want to quickly gain weight you can:
1.Use juice.
2.If you are going the natural way....you cant gain real muscle fast this way...sorry.

12 whole eggs, 2lbs of ground beef and 4 cups of rice per day is a good start... nice and cheap too

you shouldn't be taking weight gainer unless your using steroids thats the only time you need all those extra calories try a good protien shake with plenty of flax seed oil peanut butter sandwiches and drink more than a gallon of water a day one more thing mix your shakes with chocolate milk i put on 10 lbs real quick doing this went from 215 to 225 lbs.
also rest more in between sets and don't do more that 8 reps a set cut down your cardio to twice a week

should always have a post workout protein shake...whey isolate or hydrolyzed...with some fast acting carbs.

what should I be eating before I lift?

blondmusclhunk · « **Reply #22 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:40:04 AM »

Weight gainers are a waste of money. Stick with protein powder, glutamine, creatine and lots of food and rest. Remember to get 1 gram of protein per pound you weight. Their are charts on the net that will show you how much each type of food gives you. For instance a can of Tuna gives you about 23 grams a boiled egg about 12 grams.
So you definatley need to add in protein shakes throughout the day

I understand peanut butter sandwiches just fine - ask anyone around here - I UNDERSTAND PEANUT BUTTER

I guess it's a question of whether someone is looking to put on quality or just add numbers to the scale and secondly, this statement "you shouldn't be taking weight gainer unless your using steroids..." is just flat out stupid.
